  25. In a nutshell, Multi-threading is the ability to use more than one
  26. processor, i.e, 2 CPU's, 150-200% speed increase. OpenGL is a
  27. speed-optimized graphics library developed for realtime or near-realtime
  28. previewing. It supports Gouraud  shading, transparency, anti-aliasing, fog
  29. and colored light sources among other things.
